| Title: |
Archeology Treasure Hunt--Graphing Activity |
| Description: |
Graphing ordered pairs is related to the field of archeology in this activity. The students that participated in this activity prior to submission LOVED it and did very well in terms of achievement. The activity has students solve some simple but interesting problems to find a set of ordered pairs. These points are plotted on a grid and then the students translate them to places in the classroom in order to find the hidden treasures.
6 files are included for this activity.
ArcheologyGraphingActivityPlan.doc details the entire activity. Grid.doc, FloorPlan.doc and TeamProblems.doc are examples of a floor plan, questions and grid that were used in one class. 30Problems.doc is a set of 30 problems that could be used or modified for different classrooms. GraphingOrderedPairs.zip contains a floorplan and problems for a different classroom as well as answers to both sets of problems. |

| Teacher's Request: |
I want my students to see how graphing ordered pairs can be used in the real world. Any type of really fun activity for them that would relate graphing and the real world would be great! |
